Super Mario Wonder was pretty solid, but kind of short. It would have been a great buy at $30, but Nintendo do Nintendo stuff so it's $50+ forever.

Wonder is way more replayable than Mario Bros U, it's also continuing to charm the heck out of me in a way that a Mario game hasn't since Sunshine. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

I am glad you like it but no way can I agree with it being replayable.

I found it so boring and off, like a really well polished clone. Didn't have the feel or look of a mario game just the right physics for the most part.

I got it for €30 so I don't feel wronged but I would be pissed if I had paid full price for it. SMBU is a modern classic to me, new elements that matched the style and feel of the franchise.

Nintendo will never drop their prices since people keep buying their games at those prices even long after the release date. Switch has an attach rate of 8 games and most of those games are Nintendo games. When people buy a Switch for the first time they buy it with Nintendo games. Nintendo isn’t competing with anyone on their console, hence why their games rarely go on sale.
